  1. 21. Monte-Carlo Based Pricing of American Options Using Known Characteristics of the Expected Continuation Value Function

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Olle Ottander; Fredrik Lindstedt; [2022]
    Keywords : Option; American Option; Monte-Carlo; Least-Square; Black-Scholes; Merton; Finite Moment Log Stable; FMLS; Heston; Expected Continuation Value; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : The problem of pricing American stock options is far more complex than pricing European options due to the possibility of early execution. This feature means that the decision to either hold on to the option or exercising it early must be continually evaluated, leading to closed form solutions such as the Black-Scholes Formula to not be applicable on American options written on dividend paying assets.

  3. 22. LEAST -SQUARE MONTE CARLO BASED OPTION PRICING OF EUROPEAN AND BERMUDAN STOCK INDEX OPTIONS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Oscar Brink Bolin; Joel Ahnvik; [2022]
    Keywords : Option; Monte Carlo *; Least-square *; Black-Scholes; Merton; Heston; Bates; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : On the financial markets, there are a large number of financial instruments. Two of these instruments is the European and Bermudan option, where the Bermudan option can be seen as a discrete version of the American option. Meaning, if one can price the Bermudan option one can also estimate the price of an American option. READ MORE

  4. 23. Pricing of Embedded Options: Implementing Stochastic Interest Rates & Stochastic Spread

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Jan Müller; [2022]
    Keywords : Option pricing; Callable bonds; Affine term structure models; Hull-White one-factor; Hull White two-factor; Trinomial trees; Short rate; Default intensity; Swaption volatilities; Black-76; Credit derivatives; Calibration; Optimisation.; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Given the current market climate, in an era of negative interest-rates, the Hull-White model has regained popularity in the eyes of investors. This thesis aims to extend this model to incorporate credit risk, to allow the modelling of credit derivatives such as diff swaps, defaultable corporate bonds and credit default swaps. READ MORE

  5. 24. Option Modelling by Deep Learning

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för nationalekonomi med statistik

    Author : Niclas Klausson; Victor Tisell; [2021-02-10]
    Keywords : Deep learning; deep hedging; generative adversial networks; arbitrage pricing;

    Abstract : In this thesis we aim to provide a fully data driven approach for modelling financial derivatives, exclusively using deep learning. In order for a derivatives model to be plausible, it should adhere to the principle of no-arbitrage which has profound consequences on both pricing and risk management. READ MORE

  6. 25. Differential Deep Learning for Pricing Exotic Financial Derivatives

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Erik Alexander Aslaksen Jonasson; [2021]
    Keywords : Deep Learning; Exotic Derivatives; Differential Machine Learning;

    Abstract : Calculating the value of a financial derivative is a central problem in quantitative finance. For many exotic derivatives there are no closed-form solutions for present values, instead, computationally expensive Monte Carlo methods are used for valuation. READ MORE
